Title: Parametric Equalizer - Mixing
Post by: ST on June 07, 2018, 04:02:10 am

I have read https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=102260.0 but still unable to find the expanation for :-

Source and destination specified the named channels upon which the mode operates. There are 5 modes, each of which provides some explanatory text:

Copy (replace destination with source)
Move (replace destination with source and empty source)
Swap (swap source and destination)
Add (add source to destination)
Subtract (subtract source from destination)
another way to think of this is invert polarity of source and add to destination


I am trying to convert all multichannels to 4.0 and send them to Motu 24Ao as follows:-

JRiver       Motu
FL          Channel 1
FR          Channel 2
RL          Channel 3
RR          Channel 4
FL          Channel 5
FR          Channel 6
FL          Channel 7
FR          Channel 8
FL          Channel 9
FR          Channel 10
FL          Channel 11
FR          Channel 12
FL          Channel 13
FR          Channel 14
FL          Channel 15
FR          Channel 16
FL          Channel 17
FR          Channel 18
FL          Channel 19
FR          Channel 20
FL          Channel 21
FR          Channel 22
FL          Channel 23
FR          Channel 24


Do I use copy, move or swap?

does https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Parametric_Equalizer#Mixing (and also note https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Parametric_Equalizer#Spare_Mixing_Channels) help?

basic process will be

- use whatever mix strategy you want to create your 4 output channels
- copy those channels to the final destination channels

it's hard to give a more specific answer without knowing how you intend to do step 1 though

Thanks for the quick response.

I relied on those links which you provided. I wanted to know the difference between:-

Copy and Add.

Is ADD (add source to destination) means the source will not be there for subsequent routing?

Thank you.

add will leave the source untouched, the destination will contain the sum of what was already there (if anything) and the source channel

Thank you so much. It is clear now. Now, I can start troubleshooting with the virtual cable.
